They have set their mouth against the heavens,
And their tongue parades through the earth.

Remember how the foolish man reproaches You all day long.

Exalted thy voice

There is a kind—oh how lofty are his eyes!
And his eyelids are raised in arrogance.

Is the axe to boast itself over the one who chops with it?
Is the saw to exalt itself over the one who wields it?
That would be like a club wielding those who lift it,
Or like a rod lifting him who is not wood.

‘I will ascend to heaven;
I will raise my throne above the stars of God,
And I will sit on the mount of assembly
In the recesses of the north.

“Son of man, say to the leader of Tyre, ‘Thus says the Lord God,
“Because your heart is lifted up

In the heart of the seas’;

Although you make your heart like the heart of God—

We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ,

every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God.

The holy one

I will also praise You with

a harp,

Even Your truth, O my God;
To You I will sing praises with the lyre,
O Holy One of Israel.

Therefore, as a tongue of fire consumes stubble
And dry grass collapses into the flame,
So their root will become like rot and their blossom blow away as dust;
For they have rejected the law of the Lord of hosts
And despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

“Get out of the way, turn aside from the path,

Let us hear no more about the Holy One of Israel.”

For neither Israel nor Judah has been forsaken
By his God, the Lord of hosts,
Although their land is full of guilt

Before the Holy One of Israel.
